An electromechanical braking system utilizes redundancy features to provide safe and reliable braking. The braking system is configured to operate on power provided by multiple power sources. Different modes of braking are available based on whether a failure has occurred in one or more power sources. Additionally, system redundancy allows for failure in one or more primary components without total loss of braking capacity. Proportional braking is provided even in an emergency braking mode.

1. An electromechanical braking system, comprising:at least one electromechanical brake actuator for directly converting an electrical drive control signal into mechanical energy to effect a braking torque on a wheel of a vehicle; and a plurality of brake controllers for providing electrical drive control signals to the at least one electromechanical brake actuator in response to an input brake command signal to effect the braking torque, the plurality of brake controllers being configured to function redundantly so as to provide the drive control signals to effect the braking torque even in the event one of the plurality of brake controllers becomes inoperative, wherein substantially full braking torque is maintained by temporarily overdriving individual actuator motors in the event one of the plurality of brake controllers becomes inoperative.
